Terms: Cash with order. No charge for packing. All prices in- 
clude delivery by mail or express, except as noted. 
As my bulbs and plants are beyond my control when they leave 
my hands, no guarantee goes with them, but I take extreme pains to 
have them healthy and true to name. 
Missouri customers will please add two per cent to the amount 
of the order, on account of the state sales tax.

NARCISSUS BULBS 
Mixture. Many varieties, all good, all beautiful, earliest to latest, 
for garden, naturalizing, cut flowers. All sizes, ungraded, as they 
dig. $15.00 per bushel, $8.00 per half-bushel, $4.50 per quarter- 
bushel. Purchaser pays express. 
Also, on the same terms, Buttercup, Golden Sceptre, Croesus, 
Sir Watkin, or any assortment of them, including Mixture, all items 
sacked separately, except in the gallon size. Per gallon, postpaid, 
$2.75. Please specify which ones of the five items you wish included. 
There is no telling how the bulbs will dig; but, judging from 
previous years, they will run more than sixteen hundred to the bushel, 
more than half the bulk being of blooming size. This gives the 
blooming bulbs at a low price, with the smaller bulbs thrown in. Get 
your neighbors to join you in a combined order. 
Many people consider only the giant types of narcissi worthy 
of their attention. All sizes and kinds of narcissi have beauty and 
charm, and in these the small types are not surpassed. The flower 
that will most quickly and most often catch the eye in a planting 
is not the big trumpet, but the brilliant little dollycup. The bright- 
eyed and dainty kinds are well represented in this mixture. 
The bulbs of this mixture have been grown in mixture for years, 
and can not be furnished by name, nor can the varieties be sorted out. 
Buttercup and Golden Sceptre are jonquil hybrids, smallish, of 
richest deep yellow, Golden Sceptre with bell-shaped cup, Buttercup 
with straight cup, a few days later, both exquisite in odor. 
Croesus is light yellow, with large disc, disc nearly flat, reddish 
orange. A brilliant flower. 
Sir Watkin is large, light yellow, early, and has a large yellow 
cup.
